Based on a quick look at the photos, I'd say yes.

Any accessories? Service history? Credible seller? ...I'd take it.

just to wear. i am lucky to have a great career and would not spend the time or effort to make a few hundred bucks honestly. just wondering if it makes sense given the year and pics. i could use a daily beater and if i'm in one good, even better.

I'd hit chrono24 to make sure it's in the ball park, then do my buddy a favor and take it. If it's going to be a daily beater I wouldn't be too worried about stretchy bracelet as long as it's all authentic.

Bummer. That was a great deal. You definitely have to move quick on these.

Ouch, the one that got away.
Yes, that 1984 Ref. 16800 for $3800 was a terrific buy price. Even at $4800 and without box/papers and needing a service, it's a pretty solid deal. The good thing is, there's always another one to find. ________ Instagram: @onthedial |

Don't look at it as a missed opportunity. Every time you come across one and eval the condition and price you learn. You will be better able to decide correctly in the future
